CH7: VOICE Flashcards
Ventricular/ false vocal folds do not vibrate during normal phonation and used only during ____?
activities such as lifting and coughing
what folds separate the pharynx and laryngeal vestibule?
aryepiglottic folds
Primary cranial nerve for laryngeal innervation
cranial nerve 10: vagus nerve
This vocal structure is cartilage attached to hyoid bone and covers trachea so that food and drink go to esophagus.
EPIGLOTTIS
These laryngeal muscles are responsible for controlling vocalization
intrinsic laryngeal muscles: thyroarytenoids, cricothyroids, cricoarytenoids, transverse oblique arytenoids
These laryngeal muscles elevate and lower larynx position
Extrinsic Laryngeal Muscles
Mean Fo range for kids 7-8 years old
281-297 HZ
Max Phonation Time….what happens from 7 to 15 yrs of age
sustaining ah…doubles in time from 7.5 to 15 seconds
MFF for men
average is 125 HZ (Range is 100-150)
MFF for women
average is 225 Hz with range of 180-250
MPT - max phonation time: adults 18-29
21-24 ish seconds
age related changes in larynx include
laryngeal cartilage hardening
age related changes of larynx lead to______
presbyphonia
presbyphonia
age related voice disorder with perceptual changes in quality range loudness and pitch
Perceptual correlate of frequency
PITCH
perceptual correlate of intensity
LOUDNESS or VOLUME
perceptual correlate of complexity
VOICE QUALITY
determined by mass, tension, elasticity of VF’s
PITCH
Jitter is _____
frequency perturbation- variations in vocal frequency- dysphonic patients
Shimmer is _____
amplitude/ loudness perturbation- variation of vocal intensity
A speaker with or without laryngeal pathology will have small variation of intensity per cycle (shimmer is less than 1 dB)
WITHOUT LARYNGEAL PATHOLOGY
Types of vocal quality
on piece of paper - refer to this! *
Before beginning voice therapy it is necessary to obtain
must obtain a medical evaluation of vocal mechanism prior to voice therapy
Indirect laryngoscopy
bright light source and small mirror - press against pharyngeal wall area. view during phonation.
Direct Laryngoscopy
by surgeon under anesthesia - laryngoscope through mouth into pharynx and above VF’s.
Patient can or can’t phonate during direct laryngoscopy
CAN NOT PHONATE DURING THIS PROCEDURE- good for biopsy with laryngeal cancer
Flexible Fiber- Optic Laryngoscopy
thin, flexible tube with fiber- optic light bundles. through nasal passage and above larynx
Can the patient sing or phonate during the flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy?
YES! they can sing or phonate during this laryngoscopy.
excellent for rapid VF movement
Endoscopy
flexible (nasal) or rigid (orally) - can view VP valving mechanism.
Spectrogram shows ____________
the resonant characteristics of the vocal tract and harmonic nature of glottal sound source
videostroboscopy helps to detect ____
laryngeal neoplasms (tumors) with either a laryngoscope or endoscope
Stroboscopic image from videostroboscopy gives information on the ___ and _____
1) regularity of vocal fold vibration
2) vocal fold amplitude (loudness)
3) glottal closure
4) possible tumors
^^^ given by a ______image
EGG- electroglottography
indirect measure of vocal fold closure patterns
